“Brittle-Brittle is a family-owned and -operated candy and snack manufacturer. We recently decided on an expansion and were drawn to DeSoto primarily by the logistics. The location was a no-brainer. Once we met with the DeSoto Economic Development Corporation, it was clear they wanted our business as much as we wanted to be here. The City went above and beyond and helped facilitate our move here. We could not be happier with the City of DeSoto and our decision to become part of this business community.”
